Renault: Vettel cheat claims don't make sense

An engineer for Red Bull's engine supplier Renault claims theories of cheating by the championship-leading team make "no sense".

In recent weeks there has been a wide range of theories and speculation about possible cheating by Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull, most of which claim the RB has a clever traction control style system.

On Wednesday the newest claims was Red Bull is using it's KERS to generate a kind of traction control system which would be legal under the current rules, however Renault's Ricardo Penteado believes those claims are well off the mark.

"Everything is checked by the FIA," he told Brazil's O Estado de S.Paulo newspaper. "The electronic control unit is distributed by the FIA itself, to ensure that all the (electronic) programmes are in compliance with the rules.

"It would be foolish to try to do something illegal," Penteado insists. "It would end your credibility, the team would be excluded -- it makes no sense."

Indeed a current Williams employee who has previously worked with Red Bull's Adrian Newey also dismisses the speculation.
